Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dardanelle, AR.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Dardanelle is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or hostile episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
